I've been feeling a bit Autumn-like in my card making this week as well.... what little cardmaking I've done that is! Both of these cards feature lots of brown, orange and yellow. I used some Basic Grey Archaic for the first one. Every single paper in that line has a fall like feel!
The second card is my favorite of the week. I didn't use any designer paper on it! The moon was masked with circle punch, then I sponged the background with my ink essential blending tool (I just love this thing!) with about 4 different colors of ink.
On a side note.... the blog candy winner will recieve their goodies shortly. I've been waiting for a shipment of envelopes to arrive... no use buying them when some are already on order. Also the swaps will go out this week... I've been just HORRIBLE about them this month and I sincerely apologize. I've learned that summer is NOT a good swap time and PROMISE to be more on the ball this fall. And lastly... we're still placing orders for new stuff for the store Paperaddiction.com. If you have something you've been looking for and can't find them PLEASE let either Laura or I know! You can email us via the contact link on our website. Thanks!

Oh my I couldn't tell you which one I like better, they are both so cool, wonderful work!
Boy, Michelle, you hit the weather right on the mark........and your cards too. The first one is just so warm and friendly, and of course Autumn too. The second one is so stunning. TFS
I love autumn colors and these cards are very nice. On the first card, I like the mix of texture; the ripped edges around the focal point and sentiment plus the softness of the ribbon. On the second card, I like the technique you used to make the scene.
Your cards are `Beautiful`...and `Well Done` on your caardvarks win I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it...TFS!!!:)x

I love your masked moon card! It reminds me a bit of Michelle Zindorf's work. Beautiful!
I love your fall cards, particularly the one with the evergreen in front of the moon and the eartone colors. What did you mean when you mentioned the ink essential blending tool that you used? Whatever it is it works beautifully. Maybe I need one!!!
